Let's Take The Train! 
Now that registration for the Convention in Bellevue is open, I want to remind everyone interested in a fun (affordable) Grand West Coast Train Adventure to Washington that we need to get a group together to make a group purchase(s) soon to ensure the best rate. Our mission now is to organize who wants to be in a group purchase for those leaving from the various stations.
Please review the announcement linked here

Message from President
Carrie Pavis
Greeting Soroptimists!
Wow, we made it through another busy week. Thank you to Billie for coordinating our SUDS at The Commons with SI Bidwell Rancho, it was a fun evening. We had to have instructions on how to pour a glass of wine and beer.
I want to thank Bonnie for inviting SI Chico members to join at the City Plaza for the remembrance of the Camp Fire. There was a small group of us who joined Bonnie; it was emotional on so many levels. I am glad I was with my Soroptimist Sisters.
I challenge all of you to help Carolyn Dusenbury fill her donation box for the 6th Street Drop-in Center for Youth. I was able to find some very inexpensive items at Food Maxx to donate.
I'm looking forward to this week's program from OLLI and learning more about what they do.
Thank you all again for making my presidency so much fun and a lot easier than I thought it would be.
See you all on Wednesday.
President,

November
Member of the Month
Shawn Murphy
I came to Chico in 1999 to visit a friend and fell in love with the area immediately. I became a resident that fall, after spending my entire life in rural Oregon. I have two daughters, ages 14 and 16, both of whom are enrolled at Inspire School of Arts and Sciences. I also have one needy Doberman and three chubby cats. I love the beach, backpacking, hiking, and camping.
My childhood dream was always to become a lawyer, but I came from a disadvantaged background and we didn't have the funds for such a pursuit, so I pursued a career in education. I have a B.A. in Psychology and an M.A. in Political Science, with an emphasis in International Relations, both from CSU Chico. I taught as a lecturer at Chico State in the Political Science Department for a few years, but still dreamed of being a lawyer. For better or worse, I discovered the power of student loans and pursued my legal career, earning my J.D. from McGeorge School of Law. I now practice family law with Mobo Law, LLP, a civil litigation firm based in Truckee with offices in Sacramento, to which I commuted daily for over 8 years. This year, my firm agreed to open an office for me in Chico, and I am blessed to no longer be commuting. I love what I do, I love being able to work locally, and I love having more time for my girls and to be able to give back to my community through organizations like Soroptimist!
Congratulations Shawn for being our member of the month for November!
